Producer
Laurellei Veasey
is a senior theatre performance major and is currently President of the Alpha Psi Omega Theatre Honor Society. Medea is her first time producing and she's loved learning more and watching her fellow members rise to the challenge of this production. In the past, she's stage managed Cinderella, Big Fish, Romeo and Juliet, The Iliad, The Odyssey and all of Greek Mythology.., and many others. Not only does she love working backstage, she loves being on the stage, like this past Fall in the Theatre and Film's production of As You Like It as Rosalind. This is her last time working on an APO production, and it's truly bittersweet. She thanks her APO chapter for their time and dedication throughout this process. Enjoy!
